Plage du Cap-Coz, Sandy beach in Fouesnant, France.
Plage du Cap-Coz is a sandy beach extending roughly 1 kilometer along the southern shore of the bay. The shore slopes gently, the sand appears light brown, and pine trees behind the beach provide natural shade.
This place developed from a remote coastal location into a bathing destination during the early 1900s, as Brittany built tourism infrastructure. The transformation followed growing demand for seaside recreation spots.
The place takes its name from the headland that defines the bay, and visitors today use it as a calm bathing spot with clear views across the water. The gentle slope of the shore makes it a popular gathering point for families spending time by the water.
The beach has restrooms, wireless internet, and accessible facilities for visitors with mobility needs. During July and August, supervision staff patrol between 1 PM and 7 PM in summer.
At low tide, shallow areas emerge in front of the beach where visitors can collect clams and periwinkles, continuing a practice locals have done for generations. These tidal changes make each visit a different experience.
